Sharkoon releases nautical-themed Skiller SGK50 S3 Ultimate

Sharkoon has expanded its mechanical keyboard portfolio with the release of the Skiller SGK50 S3 Ultimate Rev2, a new compact board that embraces a nautical aesthetic. Moving away from standard chassis designs, this latest iteration features an ocean-themed design that extends across its abrasion-resistant, dye-sub PBT keycaps (OEM profile).

The keyboard uses a 75% layout, a form factor that continues to gain popularity for its ability to save desk space while retaining essential function keys. Under the keycaps, users will find pre-installed Sharkoon linear switches for responsive actuation. However, enthusiasts looking for a specific feel are not locked into the stock configuration, as the board features a hot-swappable PCB that allows easy switch replacement without soldering. Moreover, it features VIA support and RGB backlighting, giving users functional and aesthetic layers of customisation to play with.

After gathering user feedback, Sharkoon has implemented features to improve acoustic performance. The build features a polycarbonate positioning plate rather than a traditional metal one, paired with double-layer silicone dampening and pre-lubed stabilisers. These design choices are intended to reduce unwanted resonance and provide a softer and more refined typing sound. Another nice touch is the two-stage feet.

To complete the desktop aesthetic, Sharkoon has bundled a matching Skiller SGP30 D4 XXL mouse mat with the keyboard, ensuring a cohesive visual theme right out of the box. Additionally, it also includes a switch and a keycap puller. The Sharkoon Skiller SGK50 S3 Ultimate Rev2 is currently available for €99.90.

KitGuru says: Although a bit pricey for a wired keyboard, the inclusion of an XXL mouse pad adds some value to the package.
